Planning For Life Addresses Mind,
Body and Soul
Want to get ahead in life? If you do, check out Planning For
Life (PFL). PFL is a toolkit that helps students like you to
better prepare - academically, physically, emotionally and financially
- to further your education and plan for your life.
A key way to ensure success is to make sure your mind, body and soul
are all working together. To strengthen your mind, body and
soul, come to a PFL workshop in your community,
or check out these areas of our website:
- The Mind : learn
about your strengths; plan for college (including making college affordable);
research/plan for careers; and get ready for standardized tests with
a free online test prep program worth $500-700;
- The Body : don't
just exercise your eyes - get moving! Learn about the importance of
physical fitness, and get tips and suggestions for developing and
maintaining a healthy diet.
- The Soul : Hear
about overcoming challenges in life, the importance of planning for
life and achieving goals, and values, character and leadership.
Mind, Body and Soul do all need to work together to make you a stronger
person. But you don't need to do it alone. Partner
organizations such as the Council for Opportunity in Education's
TRIO program, the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC),
and the National Urban League (NUL), are working hand-in-hand with
the program's sponsor, The U.S. Army, to give you the tools you need
free of charge - like this Web site and the PFL workshops -- to help
you plan for your life.
To see what a PFL workshop is all about, watch
this video, surf the Mind, Body and Soul ,
and then check out this list of upcoming PFL
workshops. Good luck!
